Popular protests such as Blockupy offer an alternative to capitalism for those facing a life hunting through garbage cans<p>Now, more than ever, the world looks two ways at once. Which way it turns will depend significantly on the protests announced for the days that come: <a href="http://blockupy-frankfurt.org/" title="">Blockupy Frankfurt on 16 to 19 May</a>, and all the explosions of creative anger that will follow.</p><p></p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/may/14/blockupy-frankfurt-austerity-protest">Continue reading...</a>ProtestGreeceGermanyFinancial crisisEconomicsBankingFinancial sectorEuropeBusinessWorld newsAusterityMon, 14 May 2012 16:35:02 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/may/14/blockupy-frankfurt-austerity-protestYiorgos Karahalis/ReutersProtest against austerity measures such as those imposed in Greece 'is the fury of refusal, of stifled creation, of indignation'.

The rage displayed in Greek cities against austerity measures inspires all who are suffering for the benefit of banks and the rich<p>I do not like violence. I do not think that very much is gained by burning banks and smashing windows. And yet I feel a surge of pleasure when I see the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/feb/13/greece-bankrupt-ablaze-cradle-democracy" title="">reaction in Athens and the other cities in Greece</a> to the acceptance by the Greek parliament of the measures imposed by the European Union. More: if there had not been an explosion of anger, I would have felt adrift in a sea of depression.</p><p></p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/feb/17/greece-protest-failed-system">Continue reading...</a>GreeceProtestEurozone crisisEuroEuropean UnionEconomicsEuropean monetary unionBankingEuropean banksFinancial crisisFinancial sectorEuroEuropeWorld newsAusterityFri, 17 Feb 2012 11:45:13 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/feb/17/greece-protest-failed-systemOrestis Panagiotou/EPAGreek cities have seen fierce protests against austerity measures imposed by the EU.

We want to go to university but it is too expensive. We need good healthcare, but we cannot pay for it. We need homes, and we can see homes standing empty, but they are not for us. Or, for the millions of people who are starving: we want to eat, we can see that there is plenty of food for everyone, but something stands between us and the food – money, or the lack of it.</p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2011/mar/26/protest-rule-of-money">Continue reading...</a>Public sector cutsProtestUK newsSocietySat, 26 Mar 2011 07:30:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2011/mar/26/protest-rule-of-moneyLaurence Dutton/Getty ImagesThings do not and cannot get better because behind political power stands another, greater power – the power of capital.
